perf-help(1)
============

NAME
----
perf-help - display help information about perf

SYNOPSIS
--------
'perf help' [-a|--all] [COMMAND]

DESCRIPTION
-----------

With no options and no COMMAND given, the synopsis of the 'perf'
command and a list of the most commonly used perf commands are printed
on the standard output.

If the option '--all' or '-a' is given, then all available commands are
printed on the standard output.

If a perf command is named, a manual page for that command is brought
up. The 'man' program is used by default for this purpose, but this
can be overridden by other options or configuration variables.

Note that `perf --help ...` is identical to `perf help ...` because the
former is internally converted into the latter.

OPTIONS
-------
-a::
--all::
	Prints all the available commands on the standard output. This
	option supersedes any other option.

PERF

Part of the linkperf:perf[1] suite
TS, for example, uses the activate callback to issue the MAPVI command, and the architecture spec says that "If there is an existing mapping for the EventID-DeviceID combination, behavior is UNPREDICTABLE"). While this could be worked around in each individual driver, it may make more sense to tackle the issue at the core level. In order to avoid getting in that situation, let's have a per-interrupt flag to remember if we have already activated that interrupt or not.
